Soul Sanctuary (Trailer)

At a synagogue in West Los Angeles there is a treatment center that approaches addiction as a spiritual malady. Beit T’Shuvah is a residential addiction treatment center that saves lives through a comprehensive program of Jewish spirituality, psychotherapy, and the 12-Steps in a caring, community setting. Harriet Rossetto, the founder, has discovered joy in her mission, “People come in hopeless and filled with self-hatred. Our goal is to offer them a sense of belonging in which they will find their own meaning and purpose.” Miracles happen here.

This is a miracle and it happens here because this is a sanctuary that provides healing and the potential for transformation.

As Rabbi Mark Borovitz puts it, “t'suvah is a Jewish concept that is a daily accounting of my soul...Addiction is driven by perfectionism, so now I don't always get it right but I have a way back through t’suvah."

Produced by David Okimoto and Paul Steinbroner, Producer and Director.
